### 5/5 — Simple Done Brilliantly

*2025-12-02, version 24.6*

Phenomenal example of how well mobile games that take a single, satisfying mechanic and put everything into perfecting it feel to play. Perfect for picking up 3-10 minutes at a time and getting a bit better every lap. 

Only suggestion; a reset button would be an excellent addition! But honestly, the game loads quick enough just exiting and re-opening works well enough when you have a real bad run.

### 5/5 — Game

*2025-05-06*

Easy to understand hard to master it’s a great game, one of the greatest car game I ever touch thanks dev

### 5/5 — I love turning

*2024-12-23*

Best turning game, if you’re good at turning.

### 5/5 — A random idea

*2024-10-16, version 24.0*

This Game is fun and definitely a challenge but great for initial d fans. I know this is a random idea but it would be so cool if this game had an idle option where you could watch an ai drifting around on any of the maps in like an idle zen. Would be so cool!

### 5/5 — The Dark Souls of drift games

*2024-10-14, version 24.0*

Specifically, the part of Dark Souls 1 where you’re winding your way through the pitch-black Tomb of the Giants with only sinister glowing lights in the distance to guide you.

Am I missing something regarding disabling checkpoints? I don’t have the button and can’t see a way to open a settings menu. Is this feature unlocked through gameplay?

### 5/5 — Хорошо

*2024-10-07*

Не пожалеете, но звуков нет.

### 5/5 — What a good game

*2024-08-17*

Bro… i made 149.7

### 4/5 — Fun but needs an X factor.

*2024-06-21*

It's a fun simple car game and is actually quite addictive when you get the hang of it. 
However I feel like it lacks customisation and the maps could have more detail, maybe customisable cars, being how they drive and how they look.
Also I feel like the game could be easier and maybe even have a tutorial if you play it for the first time there is no guidance.
Lastly I just feel like it's missing something.
However for where it is at the moment I really enjoy the game and the simplicity of it but like I said just needs that special something.

### 5/5 — The game is the game

*2023-07-02, version 15.7*

I open this app for the gameplay, not because the game manipulates me into feeling like I have to.  It requires concentration and skill when you want to win but has the vibes if you just want to crash and burn into walls dropping prism stones without too much consequence. The better you are the more modes you unlock to add difficulty. The developer is committed to his craft and his community.  It’s a great investment of your time and money which is hard to find on the App Store.

### 5/5 — Не ну ваще нормально

*2023-05-21*

Игра ваще Крутая ващееееее
